Dozens of migrants rescued in the Mediterranean after being stranded at sea for 10 days, will disembark in Malta following a deal for Germany, France, Portugal and Luxembourg to take them in, Malta’s Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said Saturday. The 64 migrants on board the Alan Kurdi ship “will be disembarked and redistributed” between the four countries, Muscat announced on Twitter, adding “None will remain in Malta, which cannot shoulder this burden alone.”
